Welcome to the running wave, which I set up as a vehicle for my photographs, with some observational chat and occasionally a little writing. I hope you enjoy the things I enjoy, sharing my walks with Tilly and Ted, and other excursions I have from time to time.
Beautiful photos - is alkanet related to borage as it looks very similar.
ReplyDeleteThe pale yellow flower - is it a wild lamium known as lamium galeobdolon (Archangel Yellow)?
All looks very lush...love unfurling ferns.
Just lovely, all of it. xx
Yes, alkanet is a member of the borage family. Such a glorious blue! I love it. It is very invasive though! Don't be tempted to plant it in your garden, like I did once!! I think the pale yellow flower is from the nettle family, Labiatae, it does have a square stem (I think - didn't look closely enough and the photos are a bit blurred) but I can't find anything like it in my flower book. It is not yellow archangel. I had some of that in my Monday vase a couple of weeks ago. This plant is much taller. The investigation continues!! A xx
